The Chinese ones look EXACTLY like the original. Unless there are spotty details, like funny text. If you have a known good one; you can compare finishing.
If it's Apple presumably can just got to Genius bar with it even though it was bought from third party retailer online.
See if you were PROMISED a genuine Apple one. Print the page. Take it along. If it is an official Apple retailer you might walk out of the Apple shop with a new one. And if it's an Apple retailer who sold you a Chinese one, they can say bye-bye to their contract with Apple.

Otoh. I don't know how things go in the USA. We've only had a real Apple store for a couple of years here. And I haven't even taken a look... I always buy from a trusted, local official reseller, trying to keep them alive...
